Worked examples to EC3

How is ε calculated?

No need - its given in the tables
ε = (235/fy)1/2
ε = (275/fy)1/2
ε = (355/fy)1/2

Which partial factor should be used when calculating buckling resistance?

γM0
γM1
γM2
It depends on the mode of buckling

Which combination of checks are required for elements in tension?

Gross area using yield strength, and γM0
Gross area using yield strength, and γM1
Net area using yield strength, and γM1
Net area using ultimate strength and γM2

If a web is Class 2 and a flange is Class 1, what Class is the section?

There must be some mistake - both elements should be the same Class
Class 1
Class 2
Class 3

Why does torsional-flexural buckling not apply to UKC sections?

It does, but it's never critical
Because UKC sections have a high torsional rigidity
Because the flanges are relatively thick
Because UKC sections are not asymmetric

Which bending modulus should be used with a Class 2 section?

Elastic modulus
Plastic Modulus
Effective Modulus
Young's Modulus

Which class of sections use the Gross Area, A when calculating the resistance?

Class 1
Class 2
Class 3
Class 4

Where does a designer find values of C1 for different shapes of bending moment diagram?

In BS EN 1993-1-1
In the UK National Annex to BS EN 1993-1-1
In NCCI
In an appendix to BS EN 1993-1-1

Which approach to lateral-torsional buckling of UKB is recommended for manual calculations in the UK?

The general method
The simplified assessment method
Buckling curves - the general case
Buckling curves - for rolled sections and equivalent welded sections

When is the factor αLT used?

When calculating flexural buckling resistance
When calculating lateral-torsional buckling resistance
When classifying webs subject to axial load and bending
When calculating torsional buckling resistance
